Get your taxes done using TurboTax
To enter income from a Form 1099-MISC that is not from working, in TurboTax Online, enter Form 1099-MISC information in the section to which it pertains. In Wages and Income, there are several locations where you can enter a Form 1099-MISC.
If you enter Form 1099-MISC in the Other Common Income section, at the screen "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?", a list of options appears from which you can select that includes reasons for Form 1099-MISC other than self-employed income.
You can enter Form 1099-MISC and identify that it was not income from business profit so that it doesn't get misclassified as self-employment income:
- Select Income from Form 1099-MISC under Wages and Income.
- Enter the payer information and dollar amount
- Enter a description for the payment
- When asked about Uncommon Reasons, select that none apply or select one that adequately explains the reason
- When asked about the frequency of payment, select received in 2024
- When asked "Did (description) involve an intent to earn money?" answer No (that is, it is not earned income and therefore not subject to self-employment tax)
In the alternative, you can enter the amount under Other Reportable Income. In TurboTax Online:
- Go to Wages and Income
- Scroll down to Less Common Income
- Go to Miscellaneous Income
- Select Other Reportable Income and follow the prompts. Enter a description for the reason for the payment.
